Ight Kevin lmk when you play in the NBA. Or actually just lmk when you make it to the highest level of your profession. Nepotism only extends so far i guarantee Jordan would have done the same thing if he was in brons position. Problem is Jordans kids were nowhere near as good as bronny
@@raptoryt207 nope just a dude who doesn’t like seeing a young man get constantly dragged through the mud bc ppl don’t like his dad. He’s chasing his dreams while grown men pray on his downfall🤷♂️ Y’all sum sad mfs fr
It is very simple. If his name was Bronny Jones and not Bronny James he wouldn't even be in the G Leaague. He would be at a 3rd or 4th tier club in China. He needed to pull up his big boy pants and tell his dad NO. But instead we are about to see 3 years of humiliation for Bronny.
Not all NHL contracts are two-way but: - all entry-level ones are - Bronny James’ 1st NBA contract has an option for whatever team under contract to which he by then is playing to sign him for a 4th season, with that team scheduled to be the Lakers unless they trade or waive him
@@alex24mamba A player who, if under contract to an NHL team, ain't waivers-exempt, will, if placed on: - unconditional waivers for the purposes of contract termination, becomes an unrestricted free agent if no other team, within a 24-hour period after the player has been placed on such waivers, claims him (while a player waived by an NBA team will, instead of going down to the G-League [NBA equivalent to the American Hockey League {AHL}] affiliate of the team that waived him, if no other NBA team claims him, become a UFA) - regular waivers will, if no other team claims him within a 24-hour period of being waived, go straight down to the AHL affiliate of the NHL team that had waived him I discuss, in a direct response to the Hoop Dungeon RU-vid man's video about Bronny James, relatives of past players in various North-American men's elite pro-sports leagues who themselves would become full-timers, but also Tij Iginla, a forward: - selected during the late-June NHL Entry Draft at 6th overall by the Utah Hockey Club that had inherited players and other personnel from the Arizona Coyotes - whose dad Jerome had played in the NHL including for the Calgary Flames - who with the Utah HC, not even a full month after the above draft, signed an entry-level contract (with it TBD, even with, unlike with Bronny James, the younger Iginla having been selected in the top-10 of his relevant draft year, whether either prominent son of an ex-player in the same pro league as his dad will play a regular-season or playoff game)
Its crazy how peoples perception only changed now when Bronny got drafted. The NBA is not and never will be about basketball. NBA is a league that is only here to generate as much money as possible and that is about it. Even Dwight and Boogie said the NBA is 70% business and 30% basketball if not even more tilting on the side of business.
Pay attention to the Lakers fans, the next one or two years. They will show you that there is a line. ...by the way: nothing like that happened, prior to Silver.
He's the first ever 2nd round pick to get a guaranteed contract before ever stepping on the court... That 1 FACT is all you need to know! Homie isn't NBA material!
@@Matt28379 you know what's good for a basketball team? Getting talent NOW that's good in college... Not think about marketing, you want to know why? Because winning is the best marketing possible. 😉
What do you mean? Of course he’s gonna get touches in the summer league when he is one of the 2 players they drafted. Your either purposely looking for nonexistent reasons to hate or you have no basketball knowledge at all lmao
Oh, how bold of you to declare Bronny James as nothing more than an "expensive cheerleader." The level of insight you must have, sitting comfortably behind your keyboard, is truly remarkable. The kid hasn’t even hit the NBA yet, but sure, let’s reduce him to bench-warming status before he’s even had a chance to prove himself. It’s almost comical how confident you are in dismissing his future. Meanwhile, Bronny's out there earning his spot on teams most people can only dream of. But hey, if calling him a glorified cheerleader makes you feel better, by all means, keep "no capping."
i think the point is that it really isn’t bronny’s fault. no one should really care about him right now. i’m hoping he’ll get better but i’m not gonna expext a lot from a 55th pick
That is life in general. I worked in corporate America for over 30 years. I’ve seen top level execs give high level positions to their kids and friends who don’t have any experience and don’t know what they’re doing over people who worked that same position over 10 years. And those people who actually know the job and have experience get fired. No loyalty what so ever but companies want you to be loyal. It is what it is. It’s a dog eat dog world out here.
aww grown man hating on a teenager. but he's going to actually be playing and you're going to continue to be a sad fan hating on your couch commenting on other people who's more successful than you in life
MJ was also David Stern's darling, getting preferential treatment in officiating, stat keeping, media promotion, league policies, endorsement deals, and fake legacy preservation (something Skap Attack and other fake NBA RU-vidrs and fans in the comment section are doing). Yet nobody talks about that.
Thanas got drafted by the New York Knicks for all the clowns that are comparing him to bronny an the Greek freak had nothing to do with that sorry the bucks ended up with him true facts big facts!!!
When you look at the statistical career of most 2nd rounders, the vast majority don’t get a single start in the NBA. The upside on a legends son , and potential downside of missing out on what would most likely be a nobody, makes taking bronny make much more sense
No NBA wants to be the one Bronny makes his name against. Just like no coach wants to be the one JJ makes his name against. Long year ahead for Lakers.
"Lebron is cruel and bronny is a fool" that's the only way to picture this situation. Here's a thing, when you are in a "lose-lose situation" you have to choose the option where you'll lose the least, sadly with bronny, he chose the worst option in this situation, why? Because we all know he could be there because of his dad power, even worse, he could be there Because he was a "lamb" that Lakers need to sacrificed so lebron will stay. Lebron is a cruel, because he definitely know that this move will generate a lot of hate from his haters and even someone who's not, will eventually hating on bronny because of this move, why? Because lebron gave haters a logical argument to hating on him and bronny, there's no way you can look me in the eyes and tell me this is ain't nepotism. As for bronny he is a fool to accept this, why?, here's a thing, for us peasant, we want to play in NBA because of money, fame and the pride for playing in one of the best league in the world, but for bronny, I'm sure he's doing this for the pride only, he's doing this for a statement that he played in NBA, the achievement that not every basketball player can have in their careers, but now what? He can't have that anymore, why? Because we all know that he is a nepo-baby, all the achievement he got before, and after he's in the NBA will be stain because of what he did to get in NBA, he will be remember as "lebron's nepo-baby". Even if he actually deserve to be in the league, people will not remember that, so his main goal to proudly said he his an NBA player, will not be a thing anymore because we know how he got there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on bronny, I kinda like him actually, he's mature for his age, he knows how handle the media, he's that privilege kid who's not bragging about what his family have and actually fun to be friend with. But he needs to do something about how to fix his career, I don't know how, because to be honest, imo his reputation as a player is already broken the moment he got into the Lakers as a "sacrificed lamb" for his dad's contract.
@@Zett76 yeah, I'm not a big fan of lebron too, but like I said I have no problem with bronny, he seems chill, I think I can even say that he has better "attitude" than his dad in his age.
The NBA is entertainment the most important thing is to sell more tickets, Bronny would bring more money to the league than any other pick this year imo
Giannis had 2 brothers in the NBA who's only contribution was to convert gatorade to urine. Giannis even got one of them a shoe deal. But somehow when it was Bronny, everyone was all of a sudden a paragon of honor, and the protector of justice. Nepotism has no place in our society! 😂
Also when lakers lose this year, Lebron and le media will blame Bronny not being ready and JJ redicks inexperience as a new coach and not lebrons lake of effort on d!
If I was the GM of another team, I would have drafted him early to fk the lakers, then signed him to a BS contract and left him to rot somewhere in the D leagues for a laugh👍
Big facts 👍 i am a true diehard Lakers fan since 69 an he straight up sanitation trash 🗑️🗑️ him an his dad Le bumm james have destroyed my Lakers organization Kobe and the late doctor buss are rolling over in their graves true facts!!!!
I see it as a business decision. It is not fair to others whom could’ve had that position, but realistically a 55th position doesn’t typically have much impact, so the publicity for fans and keep Lebron happy seems to be the motivation. The fact that his son could even stand on his own at the 55th position is very commendable on his part. I don’t see this as a pattern in the NBA, it is simply too competitive. So all things considered, other than the 8 mil contract, I’d say it was a good decision
It’s sad that the lakers are more interested in making money than winning! Last time I checked winning brings in more money than a publicity stunt! If I was a Lakers fan I would be furious
If you live in the real world and understand how the world really works, you'd expect Bronny to be drafted. That is how the world works guys. Lets not be naive. North West, Kanye and Kims daughter will be a star and one of the most followed on social media. Its just how the world works
It's crazy how you say we'll he's just a 55th pick what do you expect. What 55th pick got 8 million on a guaranteed contract!? So no he's not just like any other 55th pick!
He will be Fine man, it is just basketball, he has solid skills and he is on the L A LAKERS With a 4 million automatic deal. Once he understand the culture and the ins and outs of the NBA, he will understand hat here is a lot of opportunities. Best wishes
@djuanjoseph2888 wow you don't really know the cavs and lakers roster that lebron played with. He cannot do it himself so ran around like a hoe forming superteams. Truth hurts 🤣
Real talk. If he's not the son of Lebron, he won't be drafted with his college stats. Even if he improve it doesn't change the fact that he's getting special treatment.
@MassiveMawEntertainment can't fix being undersized....he's small, bad shooter, bad iq, and gambles on defense....seems like he'll be ready in 15 years
It's not just the marketability. LeBron was more than likely going to retire this inspires him more than anything and I feel with bronny on the court even though he is not the best now will lead them to a championship.
People act like they don't realize that it takes a while to get back to being yourself after heart trauma. Some never get it back. Even his supporters don't think he will be an all time great, but he will be solid. I think if he had stayed at USC, he would have had an improved year. He mostly will go through the growing pains this year, but will get better. Laugh now, cry later, haters...
This happens in corporate America every day. Stop the CAP. It's only a problem when brothers do it. Fact check: Donald Trump: Before becoming the 45th President of the United States, Trump hired his children Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric to work in various capacities within the Trump Organization2. Bill Ford Jr.: The great-grandson of Henry Ford, Bill Ford Jr., was brought into the family business and has served as the Executive Chairman of Ford Motor Company.
It s just desgusting. Lebron should have hope to play AGAINST his son. That s the saddest achievement of lebron career and the definition of what nba has become: entertainment for fools
A 5 season vet will absolutely dominate this bench rider till they force a timeout. I can see someone like Pat Bev playing him full court just to mess with his head.
It's all good I don't mind it at all myself . If the coach work the floor lineup with skill it will be no problem and the Lakers move Blake Hinson to the starting lineup in place of Prince we going to be good , move Reeves, Christian Wood , Maxs Christy , Cam Reddish, Jared Vanderville, Max Lewis Dalton Knecht all to rotation start when the 0pposing lineup could use a good match up
Why didn’t you talk about LBJ saying his son is better then half the nba, I got a problem with someone trying to help themselves and the family that didn’t get the opportunity because of a kid that wasn’t good enough but because of his dad he’s where he has no business being
Don't ever forget who owns the NBA. Disney is desperate. He's a second rounder, lucky if he has more than 5 years in NBA (if it doesn't collapse first).
